Efficiency Graph

230V

INFO

This graph depicts the PSU`s efficiency throughout its entire operational range. For the generation of the efficiency and noise graphs we set our loaders to auto mode through our custom-made software before trying thousands of possible load combinations

Noise Graph

230V

INFO

The PSU`s noise in its entire operational range and under 30-32 °C ambient is depicted in this graph. The X axis represents the load on the +12V rail(s) while the Y axis is the load on the minor rails

Noise under high ambient temperature (indicative)

230V

Load	Normal ambient fan · noise · intake	High ambient fan · noise · intake	Noise change
10%	667 RPM · 13.8 dB(A) · 30.0 °C	685 RPM · 14.4 dB(A) · 40.2 °C	+0.6 dB(A)
20%	671 RPM · 14.0 dB(A) · 30.2 °C	690 RPM · 14.5 dB(A) · 40.6 °C	+0.5 dB(A)
50%	682 RPM · 14.3 dB(A) · 30.9 °C	842 RPM · 19.8 dB(A) · 42.2 °C	+5.5 dB(A)
100%	1176 RPM · 29.4 dB(A) · 30.5 °C	1801 RPM · 41.0 dB(A) · 45.6 °C	+11.6 dB(A)

INFO

Fan speed, noise and the measured intake temperature at 10, 20, 50 and 100 % load, from the two load regulation tests: at normal ambient (about 30-32 °C) and at high ambient (about 40-47 °C). These are stabilized readings at fixed loads, not averages over the certification sweep, so they are indicative of how the fan behaves when it is hot. "<6.0" is the floor of our sound meter: the fan is stopped or too quiet to measure (the fan speed column says which); with the fan stopped, the intake sensor can read higher than the chamber air.
